If your community is a Tree City USA, the announcement and links to applications were sent directly to your community’s Tree City USA contact.

Grants are offered in partnership with the US Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program.

Community tree volunteer groups and neighborhood associations, while not directly eligible to apply, are encouraged to develop their projects in conjunction with an eligible organization.
